Well this is my second week as a GDT for papertake weekly and I am really enjoying the challenges so far this week is a fab sketch from the super talented Dawny P .......

I dont normally use blue but I really wanted to do something different with this beautiful image and I am really pleased with how it turned out.... The papers are from the fabulous Pink Petticoat and the glitter board I dug out of my stash........

Buddy over at 'Chez Kath' has been doing a little blogging and offered some of Kaths stash!!!! as blog candy all you have to do is make him a birthday card,put it on your blog and leave him a comment so he can go and check it out simple eh!

This is my card for this weeks Passion for Promarkers which is to use Moss and Poppy I have teamed it with the sketch over at Just Magnolia..........

This image reminds me of that old song Ladybird...Ladybird fly away home so I used it as the sentiment although this did mean handwriting it !!! leaves were a gift from my lovely friend Kirsten and papers are basic grey, tiny ladybird is from my stash............(edited to say thank you to Caryn for pointing out I had forgotten to put something tasty on my card ,I have now added a cherry charm, thanks hun x)

Wow week 7 already, its true that time really does fly when you are having fun!!!!!!!

This weeks challenge is by the fabulously talented Jackie and her challenge is to use acetate on your creation........

I made this little 5x5 dream book ,Image is Hanglar and I handstamped the background with a freebie swirl stamp I received with a mag a few months ago, cut two 5x5 covers from acetate inked the edge of a ticket to match the edge of the card stock punched through all the layers and added two rings

This week on Forever friends we have a great sketch from Sandra .......

I rotated the sketch as the text would have been on the bottom and I thought it would look great on the side...

This is my favourite Forever Friends stamp It is so cute and very vesatile I am going to use it for the fathers day cards I need to make but just by adding a few flowers its great for a girls card too.....

a quick post just to share my card for Passion for Promarkers challenge....

This is my card for the Penny Black Saturday challenge this weeks challenge was called 'blooming gorgeous' and this is my take on the theme....

I coloured this sweet image with promarkers and the flowers and card candy were from craft work cards, papers and felt trim from my stash.

This is my DT peice for Forever Friends this week was my challenge and the theme is 'Citrus Twist....use citrus colours on your entry'

I could'nt get the image of pink grapefruit out of my head once I named my challenge so I thought it best to go with it.....I used basic grey papers for the background and stamped my FF image on to green papermania white core card stock added the huge very 'lime' green flower and a circle of the same backing paper to mount my image......... a bit of paper peicing and edge inking and voila..

Time for this weeks Allsorts challenge which is Pink and White and has been set by Lisa...

I really enjoy using this colour combo and I am also really enjoying being part of the Allsorts design team they are a fab bunch and i'm having a blast.......thanks girls!!!!

This is the first time I have used this stamp and i love her she is from Sugar Nellie and was a joy to colour in! ( with promarkers ) the flowers were part of my birthday pressie from my bestest friend Kirsten (thanks hun) and the ticket was originally a tan colour so I gave it a promarker make over and was quite pleased with the result!!
